How we handle sink repair in Glass Houghton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
